Watch: Two Robbers Learned The Hard Way To Never Mess With A Father And His Young Daughter

Surveillance footage, reportedly from a convenience store in Brazil, recently surfaced online, showing a man identified as an off-duty police officer reacting immediately to the threat of two would-be robbers approaching him and his young daughter.

In just seconds, the man turned around, pulled out a handgun and ordered the first suspect to the ground. Positioning himself between the male subject and his daughter, the officer was ready when a second suspect walked through the store’s front door.

While the first suspect remains virtually motionless on the floor, his apparent accomplice approaches the armed father – reportedly with a weapon drawn. The Good Samaritan unloads several shots into the suspect, fatally injuring the second suspect.

Reports indicate the first subject was taken into police custody. There is no indication that anyone aside from the second suspect was injured in the incident.

The video was released shortly after surveillance footage from another Brazilian convenience store depicted a similar setup but tragically different results.

The undercover police officer in this tape, according to a LiveLeak description, exchanged shots with a man trying to rob the business. The suspect was able to escape uninjured after fatally shooting the officer.

Another video uploaded to LiveLeak this week, reportedly filmed at a Brazilian Internet café, shows one would-be robber killed by an off-duty officer. The other two suspects in this incident were promptly apprehended by authorities.
